This wonderful table was manufactured by A.H. Stock Manufacturing Corp. of Newton, Wisconsin, and is called the “Grand Server”. The title hits it on the head. Say you are throwing a dinner party and you need to spice things up. All you do is walk over, slide the top back and crack open your favorite spirits and presto instant party maker! Melody and I purchased this off of Craigslist awhile ago. We really love its kidney shape and the ultra comic white fabric that wraps around it. This table even has a hidden compartment to hide some other party makers.

Yes, very Bond…James Bond..Actually this is part of our collection. Stuff that’s for sale will be posted in the “for sale” page. Sorry if that was unclear. I need to update that page with other items. I’m still trying to get accustomed to blogging and that page is giving me some trouble. I’m a newbie blogger so bear with me :). If we ever sell the table though we’ll let you know first.

Shannon, thanks so much for being willing to help me get a key for my Grand Server. If you’ll email your address to me (para4dan@gmail.com) I can reimburse you & send a self-addressed envelope for the key. Tell me your price & thanks again for your help.

Hi Shannon. Sorry if I’m being a nuisance, but I’m not sure if my earlier reply got to you. So I am trying again. Thanks for your willingness to help. If you will email your address to me at: para4dan@gmail.com, I will mail a self-addressed envelope and reimbursement money to you for a copy of your Grand Server key. Just tell me your price & address and I’ll mail to you right away. Thanks so much.

Thanks for the info. It is beautiful! I am looking to purchase one, so I am trying to figure out all the color combos it comes in. So far I have seen walnut top/walnut sides, walnut top/gold sides, black top/white sides and white top/walnut sides. Do you know if that is it?

Do you know how much Vickie is asking for her Grand Server? I live in Wisconsin, so that might be super expensive to ship it here. I am looking at one closer to home that I could get for $475, do you think that is a good deal? The one I am looking at is missing the key for the locking door (and the door is locked). Do you know if you can get a key made for this and approx. what it would cost, or if you could replace the entire locking mechanism and what that would cost?

I have a walnut/walnut version of this table. It has been passed down through the family. It has needed some repair (the original casters broke off and we put on new ones -plus an additional for support). Also the gold leaf on the poles (?) needs work. I would love to sell it and am not sure how. It seems a sin to let it sit in the basement when someone could be showcasing it! Any recommendations on how to go about this? How much I should ask?
Thank you SO much!!

I agree, items like this are ment to be enjoyed and not stored away. I would post it on Craigslist. As far as an asking price they are not that common. I would offer it for somewhere between $250-$300, but that all depends on condition.

Hey Retro Fans! I have one for sale!

I just recently scored one of these from an estate sale. Walnut version. Perfect condition – no scuffs, scrapes, chips, rope and wheels all there and perfect, etc. Even has the key! Got it for $150 – fastest I’ve ever paid for an item before they had a chance to change their mind or come to their senses! Not selling – new centerpiece of my family room.

Hi. — I feel pretty lucky that I got this table at my local SPCA thrift store. The only problem is that 2 of the legs were missing. Boooo. Who does that? I was wondering if you had any suggestions on where I might be able to replace them? I live in Reno– and I have a huge mid century ranch that I am doing my best to take back to it’s glory days. I am the only poor person to EVER live in this monster house. There are some really amazing features to it. It has been fun (and challenging) to bring it all the way back… I hope to have it done by the time I go live in the clouds for real. Here in Reno, gosh, telling someone you have a mid century home will get you a “deer in the headlight” look most the time. If it doesn’t have poop on it in Nevada, the value must be low? In some ways– that is great because I can get amazing things for next to nothing– but getting parts? Not so much.

I also feel pretty lucky to have found this site. I am one of the worst internet user that lives here on earth. I can barely open my email most the time. I appreciate all the help you can give me. Sue

I recently purchased an original white and gold Grand Server at an estate sale in Manhattan, KS. Got a great deal on it, but it needs some restoration (e.g., new key, new pole, new rope trim, cleaning/restoration of surfaces). Know of any antique-restoration companies that specialize in restoring mid-century modern furniture, or know of any sources to consult when trying to restore a piece like this oneself? (For example, I’d hate to damage the surfaces when merely trying to clean them.) Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated by this newbie mid-century-mod collector!

If you still need a key: Grethel with Gre-Stuff (http://www.grestuff.com) was kind enough to have her original key duplicated at her local Home Depot and then mailed to me. The copy worked like a charm in my white/gold Grand Server locking mechanism, which is dated 1968. So I suspect that at least for Grand Servers made during that time period, the keys/mechanisms were mass-produced and are interchangeable and not particular to each Grand Server. Anyway, I’d be happy to pay Grethel’s kindness forward, and to duplicate my key-copy and mail it to you to try out, if you still need a key.

Shannon thanks so much for your willingness to help me get a key for my Grand Server. If you’ll send your address to my email (para4dan@gmail.com) I will reimburse you & send a self-addressed envelope to mail the key. Tell me your price and again thank you very much.

I saw the previous thread about the grand server key. I just bought a grand server in Milwaukee this week but the key is missing to the cabinet. Anyone can help me out and make a copy? Willing to pay a fee

I have an original floor model Grand Server that my mom bought in ’64 at the World’s Fair for $ 350.00, so it’s one of the 1st ones. It’s the mahogany finish. It’s missing the key. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, just let me know the cost, assuming all keys are universal. This one is from 1964…………….Thanks !
